CHANGES:
Changes to this Agreement including, but not limited to the date, time, and/or location of the Event must be communicated in writing by Client and approved by Officiant in writing before it is confirmed.

FEES:

The full balance of any unpaid fees including ceremony fees, and/or add-on service fees, if applicable, shall be received by Officiant prior to the start of the Event. If Client fails to remit payment as specified, Officiant shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement without further obligation to refund money, or to perform Services at the Event.
Fees are transferable to another date and time as long as Client requests change in writing at least 30 days prior to the Event date, and Officiant is available. If Officiant is not available at the new date and/or time, all fees paid will be refunded upon request from Client.

ADDITIONAL FEES:

MARRIAGE LICENSE:
It is the Client's responsibility to acquire a valid marriage license, if applicable, in the state where the Event will take place and have the marriage license at the Event when the Services are rendered. Client agrees that failure to have a valid marriage license at the time of the Event means that the Officiant cannot legally perform the ceremony. The Officiant will perform a symbolic ceremony, which will have no legal merit. If Client presents a Public Marriage License, two witnesses must be present at the Event. The Officiant will complete and sign the marriage license on the day of the Event, and will return the completed marriage license by United States Postal Service First-Class mail within 2 business days to the county recorder of the county in which the license was issued. Client will not automatically receive a certified copy of their marriage license unless they request and pay for a certified copy from the County Clerk or County Recorder. In the event that the marriage license is not received by the county recorder; Officiant will cooperate with the Client and county recorder to resolve the issue. Cost for replacement license, if any, will be assumed by the Client. For privacy reasons, Officiant does not maintain copies of the marriage license.
